Jonathan Hoskins

Dear Jonathan Hoskins,

Some promise here, but suggest you read a copy or three of our magazine before submitting here again. Meanwhile, this particular ms might be more suitable for the slick femme mags. Make it more immediate and personal, involving men and women, not jars and gunk, and for God's sake stop lecturing the reader!

Futuristically,

S. F. Parsec, Editor & Pub.

Dear Fiction Editor, HOUSEWIFE:

Enclosed is a short story, "Beauty Revised," for your consideration. Happy to have comment.

Very Truly,
